SPECIFICATION forming part f Letters Patent N0. 693,992, dated February 25,1902.

Application led Aiigist 17, 1901. Serial No. 72,342. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHANN HEINRICH BECKER, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of Ohligs, Germany, have invented an Improved Safety-Razor, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a safety-razor provided With a pivoted blade-carrying holder that permits the blade to be readily removed when open and securely look the blade in position when closed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of my improved safety-razor. Fig.

2 is a bottom view, and Fig. a thereof.

The letter g represents the U-shaped resilient casing of the razor, to one end of which the blade-carrying holder is pivoted at a. This holder is provided with a pair of lugs having eyes or sockets 29 adapted to project over pins or bulges `s on casing g, so as to lock the holder to thecasing. By compressing a side View,

the sides of the casing the bulges are withdrawn from the sockets and the holder may be swung into its open position.

The casing g is provided with a pair of springs c, which in the closed position of the holder bear upon the back of the razor-blade n and are by it placed under tension.

Thus

when the casing g is compressed, andA the catches are thereby disengaged, the springs will at once push the holder into its open position, Fig. 2.y The blade 'n is held by adjustable jaws f, having tapped arms m, that are engaged by a screw t'. By turning this screw the jaws, together with the blade, can be set upward ordownward. The usual corrugated- J blade, and an adj usting-screw for adjusting the jaws, substantially as specified. Signed by me at Solingen this th day oI' August, 1901.
